An article in the Herald today about Willie Jackson getting some key gang members together with a pro vaccine message. Now if there is one thing that really makes me mad it's the media writing feel good stories about gangs. However, it is very interesting what Harry Tam had to say' This isn't about the government telling us, it's about experts telling the government'. 

I think that fact is lost on a lot of people.

Never before has not taking a vaccine meant you have that taken away.

Quite interesting Japan, we have similar vaccination rates.


Rights to attend school being taken away due to lack of vaccination is nothing new and is not uncommon around the globe. I'd consider education a service.
Freedom to travel has been and still is bound to vaccination certificates for yellow fever, malaria, polio, hepatitis etc. depending on where you are traveling from, through and to. While that's mainly international movement, you will find people without certain vaccinations have been restricted in regional movements within countries already pre-Covid, e.g. in B&H.
Other penalties for non-compliance with vaccine mandates also existed for a long time across the globe. Mainly those were financial penalties, but in the some countries people could face imprisonment or the temporary oss of child custody (e.g. Italy).
If you look Europe right now and think vaccinated and unvaccinated enjoy the same kind of freedom, you're wrong. There is many places and events which you can only visit with either a vaccination passport or a certification that you recovered from Covid.

Your absolutely right BigEarn!  Muppet's propensity for " making stuff up" to fit his political naritave called out once again...

Not really. Denmark, Sweden, UK etc etc have all abandoned certificates for citizens.

https://i.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/300404785/covid19-denmark-lifts-all-domestic-restrictions-citing-high-vaccination-rate

We are for some reason normally compared to Nordic countries and yet a person in nearly 90% vaccinated Auckland cannot even cross the city border.
Even with a double vaccination and negative test result. Just listening to some horror stories on the radio of people wanting to get through for seriously good reasons and getting told no by bureaucrats.
Name another time in history where that has happened? When someone who supposedly vaccinated and meant to be “safe” cannot do normal things? And those who choose not to be done are told you cannot get a haircut.

If you want to live in one of those countries where the government controls you go ahead, plenty of them and all **** holes.

Oh dear, everything was so simple back in the past (flu and other ) pandemics.
Line up get a jab.. may ge bit sore arm , or fell off for couiple days at most...
 get a booster every yr or so.
 Life goes on
 Now we have FB, social media BS, rabbit holes for the stupid so more ppl can make money, and cult figures filling their wallets at the expense of the gullible, for the stupid and once again everything gets complicated , BS  and messed up.

Welcome to the ' so called enlightened' world that thinks a passport or a vaccination is like Nazi Germany or pol pot BS.

Tell your friend it stops the majority of transmission and/or lessens the effects of the virus.
Your friend should sit down with his GP and have a discussion.

 As per Kitinos post above
1/ Unvacced you have a 20%+ higher incidence of transmitting..
or vacced 80% less chance passing it on

2/ Vacced if do get it chances are you will either not notice or get mild 'cold'.. less than 5% chance having to go to hospital, even if have underlying issues
 un vacced , have a good chance ending up in hospital for a few weeks, and possbly into ICU on support systems for couple weeks if dont die.

 Now combine those, we very quickly get to a position 2 to 3yrs after the initial outbreak where we are now with sars, hong kong flus.

Dont vaccinate we have what has happened in USA, Italy etc etc, and with the Spanish....millions die, millions very sick for a long time , never to recover fully, and the whole herd immunity thing takes many yrs...5 or 6yrs

Its not rocket science, world has been having this sort of stuff for 1000s yrs, and the technology since around the small pox vac late 1700s)
Just lets us reduce the hurt and time frame.

For the people that are anti vax and think they can isolate themselves from the rest of society. 
How long can you isolate yourself from ALL contact ?

Have you thought what will happen when we reach 90% vaccination rates and travel and limited numbers at a venue restrictions come off ?
Do you think covid numbers will increase ?

I'm not anti vax,I've said this how many times? My kids have had all their MMR vaccinations and I've had quite a few flu shots. I'm pro choice,it's a pretty simple concept,it goes like this ... I and I alone decide what I put into my body,not the govt,not some politician. To all you pro vax/anti choice people,what will you do when efficacy rates start dropping rapidly like they are in some countries down to 39% and less? I'm just not sure man can trust a vax developed by a company that has just recalled champix,a cessation of smoking drug that has been proven to cause cancer and that same company had been found guilty of bribing doctors to push their product,let alone a vax that will still be in trials for another 2yrs,I think that's all the reasoning I need. You do you and that's fine.

That "Champix" is a ilussanation type drup,gave it away after 1 week. Not so sure about Vapes but been on them for about 6 months,$20 week compared to $120 for roll 50gm+30gm pw Really need to knock the vape too.

He didn't call you Anti Vax did he? It was a general statement. I'm not against those who aren't getting the covid vax it is their choice. The only thing that I find hard to stomach are the anti vaxxers that keep posting up misinformation, poor souls really believe what they're saying. You know the type - the ones who think Bill Gates is the devil, the ones who hate any form of authority whatsoever. Those people

Yeah I know people that were almost suicidal when they took that champix stuff. I gave up smoking overnight after being a smoker for 35yrs thanks to finding a suitable vape juice and unit. The nicotine salts juice cut's the vaping right down also.

To be honest Its hard to tell who he was talking to as he didnt quote anyone...but I have been called anti vax on this thread before so I assumed he was talking to me. Yeah there are a few nuts out there regarding the Bill Gates stuff and the Alex Jones stuff, I agree.
